My mum lives in the middle of Salisbury Plain, which I see is a particular favourite spot for you guys!
And yes it does fit in the garage!

Great looking car Gazzer! Congratulations.
How sturdy are the running boards? I keep looking at them to help my 4 and 5 year old climb in.

Very sturdy, I recommend them. I'm 6ft and the wife is 5ft5 so is a great help in getting in and out for us both.

Glad you mentioned that. They do come out quite a way. What about the bars? Any experience with those?
Thanks

Picked the D3 up from Huddersfield yesterday. Enjoyed the trip back over the Pennines to the Red Rose county. I must say that the D3 felt more stable in the high winds than the FL2 I took over to trade in. But there again at 2.5 tons it's no surprise. I took some time to get used to the EPB on the hills in Huddersfield especially as it was busy with a home game at the football ground which I had to pass. I think I've got the hang of it now. Only only slight complaint (nothing to do with the car) was that I had to take it steady as the dealer had been somewhat economical with the fuel as usual. Not being sure of it's thirst I wanted to avoid the embarassment of running out on the M62! D3 TDV6 GS Manual Java Black
